Our Guests Say:
Was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, accommodation, and quality of the hotel for the price. Would definitely recommend to friends and family visiting Budapest!
All the staff here are excellent, very helpful and all seem to speak perfect English.
Excellent location near Keleti station. Also buffet breakfast was quite good.
Aquincum Museum
The visible ruins of the Aquincum Civil Town represent the excavated one third of the central settlement. The structure of the Aquincum Civil Town was greatly influenced by both the area's natural geography and its previous architectural history. The limes road running from north to south was a typical element in the town's layout since its very beginnings. The aquaeductus built along its western side was a similarly characteristic feature.
Irregularities in the line of the city wall, reinforced by bastilles on its western side, may be attributed to the network of drainage ditches and some buildings that were probably erected before the wall's construction. Gates interrupted the city wall where it intersected with the main streets. Excavations in the north, south and west could identify such gates. The oval amphitheatre, located outside the city wall to the north, was also a characteristic feature that defined the look of the city. As previously mentioned, ruins of the Quince Civil Town exhibited in the park around the museum, represent the excavated ca. one third of the settlement. The monuments visible today reflect the results of restoration work carried out between the early 1960's and the beginning of the 1970's.
